These 30 “Unpleasant Images” Are So Bad That You Can't Just Look Away
These images evoke a certain awkward feeling.
People are full of strange habits and hard-to-understand behaviors. We take pleasure in unusual things, from frightening and shocking horror films to uncontrollably or impulsively thinking dark thoughts.
They appeal to the universal emotion of "it's so bad I can't look away," a phenomenon known as morbid curiosity. This attraction may extend to gruesome news articles, scary films, and, naturally, peculiar online images. As Dr. Barry Schwartz, a renowned psychologist and choice researcher, explains, "The things that are most interesting to us are often the things that are most difficult to understand," emphasizing how our curiosity drives us to explore the uncomfortable. Today, we have some pictures that, although not frightening, manage to convey at least some of that emotion.
The pictures you're about to see were curated from various sources! They occasionally feature clearly hand-picked, non-scary, yet slightly unpleasant photographs.
The fact that almost everything in the photos is a regular, everyday occurrence in an odd setting intrigues me. We have a coconut crab attempting to get into a trashcan, soap in a frying pan with a bite taken out of it, and, uh, a toilet tree, or is it tree latrines?
Check it all out as you scroll down.

Be warned: coconut crabs are not to be taken lightly. Despite the word "coconut" being in their name, their diet isn't as healthy as that may suggest.
It turns out that these crabs are ferocious predators that will consume almost anything, including local birds and rodents, in addition to falling fruits and nuts. They hold the Guinness World Record for being the largest crustacean to live its entire adult life on land.
